Tower Data Summary
TM 54-80
ALUMA Tower Company has been designing and manufacturing aircraft grade aluminum telescoping
towers integrated onto our purpose built trailers for 40+ years. Our trailer mounted telescoping tow-
ers are engineered to TIA/EIA-222-G standards, and our trailers comply with all DOT and NATM stand-
ards to ensure high performance in demanding environments required by our military and federal cus-
tomers.
ALUMA towers are manufactured using the highest quality 6061-T6
aircraft grade aluminum (same as used on commercial jet aircraft).
Stainless steel hardware is widely used for riggings, and our patent-
ed slide bars practically eliminate rotational deflection found in all
competing telescoping towers.
ALUMA’s light weight yet high performance tower/trailer and shel-
ter combinations are easily transportable, rugged, low mainte-
nance, and can support heavy loads in high winds (both unguyed or
guyed). Tower heights range from 25 ft to 106 ft, payloads are up
to 665+ lb range at extended heights, and operate in wind speeds of 105 MPH. Heaver loads and large
sail areas are supported at reduced wind speeds.
ALUMA offers telescoping towers, shelters and trailer accessories such as single and dual axles, auxilia-
ry quiet run diesel generators, securable aluminum storage boxes and NEMA rated equipment cabi-
nets, powdercoat and CARC color choices, solar panels, work lights, adjustable trailer tongues, aircraft
warning beacons, electric winches (AC and DC), various sized fuel tanks, directioners, mounting bars,
cable stand-offs, grounding systems, text message controlled SMART Technology, various shelter di-
mensions, and other options found on our webpage at
With ALUMA’s optional patent-pending SMART Technology, the user can re-
motely control the tower system via text message, IP or user dedicated com-
mo system. SMART Technology also enables the user to preset thresholds to
have the tower operate automatically when winds reach a certain speed.
